Common Questions and Answers about Passing kidney stones blood in urine
kidney-stones
Causes can be divided according to the affected organ and they are Kidney conditions (infection, pyelonephritis, kidney stones, polycystic kidney disease), Bladder conditions (cystitis, bladder polyp, bladder tumor), Urethral conditions (Sexually transmitted diseases, urethral injury) and certain bleeding disorders. When the blood in the urine is at the beginning of urination, it most likely comes from the urethra, (the tube from the bladder to the outside).
I have a long history of stones, yet have never had blood in my urine especially as much as I was passing.
The kidney stones eventually did pass (w/in 6mths) w/out any surgery. So I was grateful
This could be the same for you. It can take a yr for a kidney stone to pass & you could have pain, no pain or w/ blood in urine or w/out.
An X-ray can easily rule out kidney stones.
Blood in urine is a sign of a really bad bladder infection or kidney stones..I had kidney stones with my first and never peed blood..got kidney stones again this pregnancy was peeing blood they said bladder infection but I ended up in hospital 3 days later with kidney stone attack so I either had both or was trying to pass stones..I would call my doctor so they can get a urine sample while you are peeing the blood out..
To let you know, my urine test identified blood in urine. But when I gave blood sample, I didnot had any pain or saw any of such symptom.
Now, the reason writing to you is: today, my urine is in pink color and I went through different websites to know is this some thing very serious.
It is looking like every thing is going back to the square one. Do I need to go for further treatments?
m not going to be 100% positive on it, but if your son drank cranberry juice (lots of it) check into the effects of the oxalates(in cranberries) and the calcium(in your urine) building up to possibly form kidney stones, the last question on the linked page will be helpful if that's the case.

If not, the doctors could be just concerning about kidney infection due to the bladder infection which can get very serious.
As kidney stone develops, they can also cause hematuria or blood in the urine. Hematuria can be 1)microhematuria which is blood detection on urinalysis and not by the naked eye or 2)gross hematuria as the stone passes through the urinary tract. There may be some degree of hematuria at any stage when a stone is in the urinary tract, and even after passing the stone due to the local damage caused by passage of the stone.
Your doctor may prescribe allopurinol (Zyloprim, Aloprim) to reduce uric acid levels in your blood and urine and a medicine to keep your urine alkaline. In some cases, allopurinol and an alkalinizing agent may dissolve the uric acid stones.
* Struvite stones. To prevent struvite stones, your doctor may recommend strategies to keep your urine free of bacteria that cause infection. Long-term use of antibiotics in small doses may be useful to achieve this goal.
* Cystine stones.
Last October I had a cyst on my kidney but from the CT scans that I had its no longer showing per my pop dr. My concern is the trace of blood that I have carried in my urine for 15 years and now for the first time ever stone passing with no indication of any other stones per the ct scan without contrast. No lesions was detected just the trace of blood what could this be ?
My friend suffered with stones in kidney.. they are out now. but from two days he's complaining that he lost lot of blood while urinating... he doesnt have any pain... we have consulted the doctor too yesterday...no proper outcome..only little medication suggested...can somebody let me know the reasons for this to happen..
So I scheduled an appt.with my GP first thing in the morning.Test results at the Dr showed blood in the urine just not noticable to the naked eye this was 12 hrs after the first encounter the night before.He sent the urine out to the lab for more testing.The Dr office called this morning and said there were some red blood cells in the urine but no Malignant cells.Or cells that were non malignant.I have another urine test schedualed later this week along with complete blood work.
hi brandy,
based on your description, you might be having kidney stones. the best way to check that is to have your urine tested. once you have your test results, there might be additional imaging tests like xrays and ultrasounds to measure the size of these stones (if ever there are)
keep us posted. good luck!
Hey all,
I have had three kidney stones in my life, and occasionally, say thrice a year -- my kidney(s) (usually one at a time) will ache, and I get a nasty stinging in the end of my genital area. I have no blood in my urine, and was wondering if this was maybe a minor kidney infection.
The stinging does not occur when urinating, but rather when I'm just sitting idly. I was also wondering if maybe the stinging was cause by very tiny kidney stones passing?
If the stone is too large to pass easily, pain as well as blood may appear in the urine. Your symptoms highly suggest kidney stones but I recommend that you have this evaluated further by your doctor. Diagnosis is through an x ray or ultrasound. The results of these tests help determine the proper treatment. Furthermore, the chance of recurring stones is high. That is why it is also important to determine which type of stone is formed to prevent the formation.
The last surgery I had was in 2006. I also have had/have kidney stones in my left kidney, I passed a 13mm one in June 2006. In the past year I have not had any reoccuring problems with my obstuction and stones, although I still have 6mm stone in my left kidney. This past week, I did however urinate large amount of blood, my urine was cola colored. With my history I decided to go to the emergency room cause I was very concerned.
Calcium oxalate crystals in the urine are the most common constituent of human kidney stones. Also, blood in the urine can be caused by a lot of things. Some are serious, including cancers, trauma, stones, infections, and obstructions of the urinary tract. Others are less important and may require no treatment. These may include viral infections, nonspecific inflammations of the kidney, medications and benign prostate enlargement.
As kidney stone develops, they can also cause hematuria.
